About This Song
About "Buffalo Skinners" by Woody Guthrie
Woody Guthrie's 'Buffalo Skinners' is a stark, unvarnished ballad of labor and betrayal on the plains. The guitar is a workhorse, the voice a witness. There's no romanticizing the frontier here—only the cold wind, the meager pay, and the quiet fury of men who've been used and left to walk home.
